High-performance reciprocating compressors N-series boosters

Your ticket to high-pressure performance

N-series boosters augment your existing system pressure in specific locations, elevating it up to 650 psig. Kaeser offers an extensive range of high-performance booster reciprocating compressors that work in perfect harmony with Kaeser rotary screw compressors and SIGMA PET AIR stations.

The N-series boosters are available with one or two cylinders and operate within the following performance parameters:

  • Initial pressure up to 190 psig – discharge pressure up to 650 psig
  • Flow rate: 9.5 – 194 cfm

Compared to designing the entire compressed air supply system for higher pressure, the use of boosters is significantly more cost-effective for all applications that require process air with a higher degree of compression than the normal control air and supply air at specific locations. PET bottle production is an excellent example of such applications.

Your advantages

  • Continuous high-pressure operation:
    Innovative features such as oil pressure lubrication and intensified cylinder cooling ensure both long service life and low maintenance requirements as well as continuous system-compatible maximum pressure of 650 psig.
  • Exceptionally low oil requirement:
    The high quality cylinders are plateau-honed and feature an extra layer of wear protection. These details ensure low oil consumption over the entire service life.
  • For especially cool compressed air:
    The compressed air aftercoolers on the three-cylinder boosters are equipped with separate fans, which ensure low compressed air discharge temperatures. The boosters can be additionally equipped with water-cooled aftercoolers to attain even lower temperatures.
Energy cost savings
Life-cycle costs

High quality premium efficiency electric motors deliver unparalleled efficiency for remarkably low power consumption. Their low operating temperature provides an added advantage.

 

Product details

Versions

For lower demand

N 60 G to N 153 G boosters, air-cooled

The smaller models in this range are best suited to applications where low flow rates are needed at pressures up to 580 psig. These compressors are equipped with one- or two-cylinder compressor blocks and are driven by high efficiency motors with up to 5 hp capacity. The quality of these units is second to none as all compressor blocks are designed, manufactured and assembled by KAESER.

For medium to large demand

N 253 G to N 502 G boosters, air-cooled

When greater air flow rates are needed at pressures up to 650 psig then the mid-size and larger of the Kaeser booster models are the natural choice. At the heart of every one of these powerhouses is a precision machined two- or three-cylinder compressor block that delivers exceptional efficiency. Premium-efficiency electric drive motors up to 25 hp provide optimal energy efficiency.

N 2001 G booster, air-cooled

The N 2001 G air-cooled versions are equipped with a separate fan-assisted aftercooler to keep the temperature differential between the inlet and compressed air (ΔT) within close tolerances. To ensure optimal cooling performance with a ΔT value of only approximately 5 K even at high ambient temperatures, the N 2001 G models can be equipped with a water-cooled compressed air aftercooler.
